Police Officer Goes Above and Beyond to Get Formula for Hungry Week-Old Baby

An Ohio police officer who received a “frantic call” from a postpartum mother saying she was unable to feed her week-old infant because her milk had dried up jumped into action to purchase some formula and bottles.

Miami Township Police released bodycam footage of Cpl Hunter Willoughby heading to a Meijer supermarket. Although the store was closed at the time, Willoughby was helped by staff and was able to buy what he needed.

Willoughby then delivered the formula to the appreciative mother and “refused to accept any payment,” police said. Credit: Miami Township Police via Storyful
